I've never replaced one.

that's what it's supposed to do

They don't have a specific service life. They're just an electromagnet (solenoid) which controls a plunger to open and close the injector nozzle. 

These things can last 500,000 miles or fail/clog/leak in 50,000 miles.

 


Thanks for the info…I’ll just do an O ring kit and keep the in service.

I have not had to replace fuel injectors yet on any vehicle I've owned. Oldest currently is a 1986 model with 300,000 miles.


Thank you. I will do an O ring kit and keep them in service
